Radiosynthesis of [18F]PM-PBB3 by 18F-fluorination with [18F]F− and 18F-fluoroalkylation using [18F]epifluorohydrin ([18F]5). In this study, after the [18F]F− solution was dried, a solution of 8 (3.5 mg) in o-dichlorobenzene (0.15 mL) was added to the reaction vial containing the dry [18F]F−. The resulting [18F]5 was distilled from the reaction vial and was transferred to another reaction vial containing 7 (1 mg) and 1 mol/L NaOH (3.5 µL) in anhydrous DMF (0.25 mL) maintained at -15 °C. After 2 min of trapping of [18F]5, the reaction mixture was heated at 130 °C for 20 min to obtain [18F]PM-PBB3
